Billy Ray Cyrus will be celebrating an important milestone in his life this year – yep, that's right, it's the 25th anniversary of his hit single 'Achy Breaky Heart'.

So how is he marking this occasion? Well, the way any true pop star would – by changing his name to Cyrus.

"I always went by Cyrus, and I begged Mercury Records to call me Cyrus in the beginning because that's what I was comfortable with," he said to Rolling Stone Country while explaining his decision to drop his first name altogether.
